Bishi

Singer, multi instrumentalist & DJ, Bishi was born in Earls Court to a Bengali musical family; her mother is an EMI signed artist to this day. She has studied Sitar at The Ravi Shankar School for Music and has a passion for English & East European folk, progressive pop & electronica. Her album ‘Nights at The Circus’ has been critically acclaimed and she has been nominated for this year’s South Bank Show Awards – the ‘Times Breakthrough Award’. Fusing British pop with her folk influences and ruminations of urban life she says: “I have based the album on being an outsider. The space between two cultures can be confusing, but it can also be very energetic”.
